Beyond the 18th, the local scene becomes a perfect double-play: beach time and fresh seafood. Play in the morning, enjoy Gulf shrimp for lunch, and watch the tide roll in at sunset. It’s all part of the Coastal Code. Remember Alabama’s Beaches Rule #83: “There’s a reason that Golf and Gulf are so similar.” The coastline and the course make a perfect match: scenic, salty, and surprisingly forgiving.

As for the golf, you’ve got miles of golf to choose from among more than a half a dozen local courses. Seriously! Add the yardages together, and you’ve got about 20 miles of course to explore, from laid-back resort greens to championship layouts that test every club in the bag. Prefer a signature round? Craft Farms’ Cotton Creek and Cypress Bend courses provide the only Arnold Palmer-designed courses in Alabama, making them a must for any bucket-list trip.
